HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - A man was taken to Huntsville Hospital with life-threatening injuries after he was shot at close range this morning in the parking lot of a business on Jordan Lane, a police spokesman said.

The victim is Richard Smartt, Sgt. Clay Warmbrod said.

Huntsville Police are looking for a man driving a gray Mercedes who witnesses said shot Smartt outside the Chevron at Mastin Lake Road after an argument.

The incident occurred at about 10:35 a.m. after the two men began arguing inside the convenience store before stepping outside to continue the argument, Warmbrod said. One man pulled a gun and shot the other before driving away in the Mercedes.

Warmbrod said the investigation will be turned over to the department's Homicide Division.
